In September 2026, Yakov Pachochich, chief scientist at OpenAI, published an article revealing that they were advancing their Recursive Self-Improvement project, which is regarded as the core of next-generation general artificial intelligence. The team used coding agent technology to significantly accelerate the research process. Data shows that AI spending per researcher increased significantly by the end of July, presumably due to internal employees gaining access to the GPT-6 Astra model at that time. Internal research at OpenAI indicates that this technology has had a significant impact on experimental speed, task complexity, and overall research efficiency, making 2026 a year of major breakthroughs in this field.

Research acceleration: The view inside OpenAI

Jakub Pachocki, Chief Scientist at OpenAI, published a new article titled “Alien Thinking,” in which he discusses his Recursive Self-Improvement project, which is regarded as his new generation of general artificial intelligence. The OpenAI research team is using coded agents to accelerate development progress, and 2026 is expected to be a year of significant breakthroughs in this field. Data shows that per-person AI spending increased significantly by the end of July, presumably due to internal employees gaining access to the GPT-6 Astra model at that time.
